Hair on the pre-filter. On the plus side, as you can see, it seems to have removed the fine dust fairly well.

Hair also got caught on the baffles of the cyclones, blocking their exits... remember, this is after a single use! I doubt many users would bother (or even think!) to clean all this out after every use, so I can see it clogging up fairly quickly...

I guess Vax designed the shroud to create less air-resistance than the traditional perforated shroud - but it's hopeless at deflecting human and animal hair! Only one person who lives in this house has long hair, and I used this cleaner to vacuum once... all this was caught up...[this post was...

Meanwhile, airflow carrying finer particles passes through the shroud, before being split between 13 high-efficiency cyclones. Dust particles fall into the upper chamber, whilst the clean air passes upwards, through the prefilter.[this post was last edited: 4/16/2011-12:32]

Forgive the sloppy MS Paint diagrams! Outer cyclone flings larger particles out to the side of the separator, away from the shroud. The bulky debris then falls into the lower portion of the bin. [this post was last edited: 4/16/2011-12:27]

Rob - it's actually just been independently verified as having 340 airwatts, so it's more powerful than even Vax thought! I must admit, though, I'm a little disappointed; the build quality isn't amazing, and it has a few design quirks I'm not happy with. It's not terrible by any means, but not...

Currently using my G5, but I don't really have a daily driver... if I have a new cleaner, I tend to use that exclusively for several weeks. Otherwise, I go back to my favourites.
